    SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the final 
    monograph for over-the-counter (OTC) antihistamine drug products to 
    include the ingredient doxylamine succinate. FDA is issuing this final 
    rule after considering extensive information concerning this ingredient 
    and the recommendations of its Nonprescription Drugs Advisory Committee 
    (NDAC), which met on June 28, 1993, to consider potential labeling for 
    doxylamine succinate regarding the results of toxicology testing 
    conducted under the National Toxicology Program (NTP). This final rule 
    is part of the ongoing review of OTC drug products conducted by FDA.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: January 30, 1995.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William E. Gilbertson, Center for Drug 
    Evaluation and Research (HFD-810), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 
    Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-594-5000.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of September 9, 1976 
    (41 FR 38312), FDA published, under Sec. 330.10(a)(6) (21 CFR 
    330.10(a)(6)), an advance notice of proposed rulemaking for OTC cold, 
    cough, allergy, bronchodilator, and antiasthmatic drug products. In 
    that notice, the Advisory Review Panel on OTC Cold, Cough, Allergy, 
    Bronchodilator, and Antiasthmatic Drug Products (the Panel) recommended 
    that doxylamine succinate be generally recognized as safe and effective 
    (Category I) as an OTC antihistamine at a dosage level of 7.5 to 12.5 
    milligrams (mg) (41 FR 38312 at 38385 through 38387). At that time, the 
    agency concluded that doxylamine succinate should remain a prescription 
    drug at dosage levels above 7.5 mg because it causes a high incidence 
    of drowsiness compared to other OTC antihistamines (41 FR 38312 at 
    38313). Subsequently, after evaluating extensive data on the safety of 
    doxylamine succinate, the agency determined that doxylamine succinate 
    could be marketed OTC at the Panel's recommended dosage. In the Federal 
    Register of August 24, 1987 (52 FR 31892 at 31893 through 31903), the 
    agency proposed monograph status at dosages of 7.5 to 12.5 mg. No 
    comments were received in response to this proposal.
        In 1991, the agency received a report of a study on doxylamine 
    succinate conducted by the National Center for Toxicological Research 
    (NCTR) (Ref. 1). The results of this study were under consideration 
    when the agency published the final monograph on OTC antihistamine drug 
    products on December 9, 1992 (57 FR 58356). Accordingly, the agency 
    deferred a decision on doxylamine succinate at that time.
        The NCTR technical report concerns a 2-year carcinogenicity and 
    chronic toxicity study of doxylamine succinate in Fischer 344 rats and 
    B6C3F1 mice. The study was conducted under the auspices of the NTP. The 
    study was prompted by the National Cancer Institute's finding that 
    methapyrilene, a similar antihistamine, is a potent liver carcinogen in 
    the rat (Ref. 2). Methapyrilene was removed from the market in 1979. 
    The NCTR study on doxylamine succinate was reviewed by the agency's 
    Pulmonary-Allergy Drugs Advisory Committee (the P-A Committee) on June 
    13 and 14, 1991 (Ref. 3).
        In the NCTR study (Ref. 1), doxylamine succinate was administered, 
    ad libitum, as an admixture in the feed to male and female rats at dose 
    levels of 0, 500, 1,000, or 2,000 parts per million (ppm) for 2 years. 
    Mice of both sexes received food containing dose levels of 0, 190, 375, 
    or 750 ppm. Each group contained 48 weanling animals per sex; the 
    animals were scheduled for sacrifice at the end of 104 weeks. An 
    additional group of animals (9 rats and 12 mice per sex) in each dose 
    group was sacrificed at the end of 65 weeks. There were no significant 
    treatment-related differences in survival in either rats or mice. In 
    rats, the highest doxylamine succinate dose group had final body 
    weights that were 22.8 percent (females) and 8.4 percent (males) lower 
    than controls. A number of nonneoplastic lesions was observed in rats, 
    including fatty change, degeneration, and hyperplasia of the liver and 
    increased cytoplasmic alteration in the salivary glands. In mice, there 
    was evidence of hepatotoxicity including hypertrophy, clear and mixed 
    cell foci, and, in females, fatty change. There also was a treatment-
    related increase in ``atypical'' hepatocytes in male mice. Both male 
    and female mice had a dose-related increase in thyroid follicular cell 
    hyperplasia. There was a positive trend for increased incidence with 
    increasing dose for both hepatocellular adenomas and carcinomas in male 
    rats. When the incidence of adenomas and carcinomas was combined, the 
    statistical test was positive (p < 0.01)="" and="" the="" incidence="" in="" the="" highest="" dose="" group="" was="" significantly="" (p="">< 0.05)="" increased="" over="" that="" of="" controls.="" no="" treatment-related="" increase="" in="" neoplasms="" was="" found="" in="" female="" rats.="" although="" not="" statistically="" significant,="" one="" rat="" in="" each="" of="" the="" high="" dose="" groups="" of="" male="" and="" female="" rats="" was="" found="" to="" have="" a="" pineal="" gland="" tumor,="" which="" is="" an="" extremely="" rare="" neoplasm="" in="" rats.="" in="" mice,="" doxylamine="" succinate="" administration="" produced="" an="" increased="" incidence="" of="" hepatocellular="" adenoma="" in="" both="" males="" (p="">< 0.001)="" and="" females="" (p="">< 0.001).="" also,="" there="" was="" an="" increased="" incidence="" of="" follicular="" cell="" adenoma="" of="" the="" thyroid="" gland="" in="" male="" (p="">< 0.05)="" and="" female="" (p="">< 0.0001)="" mice.="" although="" the="" rodent="" tumorigenicity="" studies="" were="" positive,="" doxylamine="" succinate="" tested="" negative="" overall="" in="" in="" vitro="" tests="" for="" genotoxic="" activity="" (causing="" damage="" to="" deoxyribonucleic="" acid="" (dna)).="" based="" on="" the="" overall="" assessment,="" the="" tumorigenic="" responses="" observed="" in="" the="" rodent="" bioassays="" may="" relate="" to="" secondary="" mechanisms="" involving="" the="" induction="" of="" liver="" microsomal="" enzymes,="" cytotoxicity,="" cell="" proliferation,="" promotion="" of="" tumor="" potential="" in="" pre-existing="" susceptible="" cells,="" or="" other="" processes.="" such="" mechanisms="" may="" represent="" species-="" specific="" effects="" or="" threshold="" phenomena="" applicable="" to="" rodents="" (under="" the="" conditions="" of="" the="" bioassay),="" but="" these="" mechanisms="" are="" considered="" of="" questionable="" significance="" in="" humans.="" due="" to="" uncertainty="" concerning="" the="" relevance="" of="" these="" findings="" to="" human="" use,="" the="" agency="" asked="" its="" p-a="" committee="" and="" a="" number="" of="" consulting="" experts="" to="" evaluate="" the="" data="" and="" to="" advise="" the="" agency="" on="" whether="" doxylamine="" succinate="" should="" continue="" to="" be="" marketed="" otc.="" by="" a="" vote="" of="" five="" to="" one,="" the="" p-a="" committee="" concluded="" at="" its="" june="" 13="" and="" 14,="" 1991,="" meeting="" that="" doxylamine="" succinate="" is="" not="" likely="" to="" have="" human="" carcinogenic="" potential.="" again,="" by="" the="" same="" vote,="" the="" p-a="" committee="" recommended="" that="" doxylamine="" succinate="" could="" remain="" otc,="" but="" that="" consumers="" should="" be="" alerted="" that="" these="" data="" exist.="" the="" p-a="" committee="" discussed="" labeling="" as="" a="" preferred="" means="" of="" providing="" this="" information="" (ref.="" 3,="" pp.="" 175="" through="" 182).="" fda="" subsequently="" developed="" possible="" labeling="" that="" could="" be="" used.="" this="" labeling="" included="" the="" warning:="" ``use="" of="" this="" product="" may="" be="" hazardous="" to="" your="" health.="" this="" product="" contains="" doxylamine="" succinate="" which="" has="" been="" determined="" to="" produce="" tumors="" in="" laboratory="" animals.''="" the="" agency="" requested="" the="" views="" of="" a="" national="" trade="" association="" of="" otc="" drug="" manufacturers="" on="" this="" suggested="" warning="" (ref.="" 4).="" in="" response,="" the="" association="" asserted="" that="" such="" a="" warning="" would="" be="" inappropriate="" (ref.="" 5).="" the="" association="" stated="" that="" such="" a="" warning:="" (1)="" would="" not="" ensure="" safe="" and="" effective="" product="" use="" by="" consumers;="" (2)="" is="" not="" based="" on="" sound="" scientific="" data="" known="" to="" be="" relevant="" to="" the="" human="" condition;="" (3)="" is="" not="" understood="" and="" actionable,="" in="" a="" meaningful="" way,="" by="" consumers;="" and="" (4)="" might="" reduce="" the="" impact="" of="" other="" warnings="" and="" occupy="" scarce="" label="" space.="" the="" association="" argued="" that="" the="" proposed="" warning="" does="" not="" meet="" the="" criteria="" of="" section="" 502(c)="" of="" the="" federal="" food,="" drug,="" and="" cosmetic="" act="" (21="" u.s.c.="" 352(c)).="" this="" part="" of="" the="" statute="" requires="" labeling="" information="" to="" be="" presented="" in="" ``terms="" as="" to="" render="" it="" likely="" to="" be="" read="" and="" understood="" by="" the="" ordinary="" individual="" under="" customary="" conditions="" of="" purchase="" and="" use.''="" the="" association="" contended="" that="" the="" proposed="" warning="" effectively="" shifts="" the="" burden="" of="" determining="" product="" safety="" from="" the="" agency="" to="" the="" consumer="" and="" then="" does="" not="" tell="" the="" consumer="" what="" action="" to="" take.="" in="" a="" subsequent="" communication="" (ref.="" 6),="" the="" association="" further="" argued="" that="" a="" warning="" statement="" in="" the="" labeling="" of="" doxylamine="" products="" is="" not="" justified="" because="" the="" scientific="" data="" do="" not="" suggest="" a="" significant="" risk="" to="" humans,="" that="" such="" a="" warning="" would="" be="" unprecedented,="" and="" that="" a="" label="" warning="" is="" not="" the="" appropriate="" means="" for="" disclosing="" this="" information.="" in="" 1992,="" the="" agency="" established="" a="" new="" advisory="" committee="" specifically="" for="" the="" review="" of="" otc="" drugs,="" the="" nonprescription="" drugs="" advisory="" committee="" (ndac).="" the="" agency="" asked="" ndac="" to="" consider="" the="" issue="" of="" a="" tumor="" statement="" in="" the="" labeling="" of="" otc="" drug="" products="" containing="" doxylamine="" succinate="" at="" its="" june="" 28,="" 1993,="" meeting.="" the="" agency="" presented="" a="" summary="" of="" the="" nctr="" data,="" possible="" labeling,="" and="" legal="" and="" compliance="" issues="" (ref.="" 7).="" other="" interested="" parties="" presented="" their="" positions.="" the="" agency="" asked="" ndac="" to="" consider="" the="" following="" questions:="" (1)="" should="" a="" labeling="" statement="" be="" used="" to="" inform="" consumers="" in="" place="" of="" other="" alternative="" approaches="" (no="" warning,="" prescription="" only="" status,="" removal="" from="" all="" marketing,="" etc.)?="" (2)="" is="" there="" a="" desirable="" risk-to-="" benefit="" relationship="" for="" labeling?="" (3)="" if="" the="" answer="" to="" both="" questions="" is="" yes,="" what="" information="" should="" be="" included="" in="" the="" labeling="" and="" what="" language="" should="" be="" used="" that="" would="" be="" easily="" understood="" by="" the="" average="" consumer?="" (4)="" how="" should="" information="" be="" presented="" to="" the="" consumer="" (i.e.,="" under="" the="" ``warning''="" or="" some="" other="" heading,="" visible="" at="" the="" point="" of="" purchase,="" on="" the="" immediate="" container,="" or="" in="" a="" package="" insert)="" and="" should="" the="" information="" indicate="" that="" the="" product="" could="" be="" ``hazardous''="" to="" health?="" after="" considering="" the="" available="" evidence,="" ndac="" voted="" unanimously="" (10="" to="" 0)="" to="" reaffirm="" the="" p-a="" committee's="" recommendation="" that="" doxylamine="" succinate="" remain="" otc.="" ndac="" also="" recommended="" (10="" to="" 0)="" that="" there="" be="" no="" specific="" statement="" about="" tumors="" in="" the="" labeling="" and="" urged="" fda="" to="" write="" a="" fully="" descriptive="" article="" on="" the="" subject="" in="" the="" ``fda="" consumer''="" magazine.="" the="" agency="" has="" considered="" the="" two="" advisory="" committees'="" recommendations="" and="" concludes="" that="" doxylamine="" succinate="" is="" safe="" and="" effective="" for="" otc="" use="" as="" an="" antihistamine.="" accordingly,="" the="" agency="" is="" including="" doxylamine="" succinate="" in="" the="" final="" monograph="" for="" otc="" antihistamine="" drug="" products.="" the="" agency=""
